Explore Pahoa

With a number of historical sites, friendly locals, and miles of pristine white beaches, the town of Pahoa has it all! Luckily, Pahoa is small enough that anything you want to see on the island is within walking distance. While you are here, sample the western style storefronts and stroll the wooden boardwalks of Main Street.

Be sure to save some time for these must-see sites and cultural attractions as well:

-Ahalanui Park: Hike to the hot springs and geysers found in this park or just spend the day relaxing and picnicking while taking in the beautiful park scenery.

-Take a Volcano Tour: There are several local companies that will take you around the volcanoes in the area, offering a rare chance to see this natural wonders up close.

-Kapoho Tide Pools: This geologic formation is an excellent place to try snorkeling.

-Go to the Beach: Kehena Beach is just one of the many pristine beaches on the island that the locals use to soak up Hawaii's rays.

Watch movies from some of Hawaii's premier filmmakers at the Big Island Film Festival in May, attend the largest hula festival in the world, known as the Merry Monarch Festival, in May, or listen to live performances of traditional Hawaiian music at the Puna Music Festival in April.

Perfect Place in Paradise

Left on Oct 29, 2010 for a stay in September 2010

What a value!! A whole 2 BR house (with luscious views from every window) for the price of a dinky hotel room. We've stayed at Chad and Sue's three times so far and loved it each time. If you want to experience the real Hawaii instead of a glammed up resort, and you would enjoy privacy in a well appointed, cared for, spotless home with 3 gorgeous acres of park-like landscaping and the ocean …

It is really a great place to stay at.
The kind of place I only see in magazine about where the famous stay!!!
The location is fantastic, the decoration is great, everything is available.
The beds are very comfy, and although I normally need to be in total darkness to sleep, no problem at all.
I just wish I coud return soon, having a drink on the terrace...
Enjoy

Wonderful Cozy Cottage

Left on Jan 18, 2014 for a stay in January 2014

I would give this cottage 5 stars if it were closer to the ocean or had a view. That's the only reason why I'm not because in every other way it is top drawer. It's on a paved road easy to reach from the main road. It is peaceful and quiet, clean and brand new construction. The owners built this cottage with loving detail and then filled it chock full of little touches that make it feel like home…

Quaint, quiet and cute Cottage by the sea

Left on Aug 22, 2013 for a stay in August 2013

We rented this perfect cottage by Kehena Beach in August 2013 with our family of 4. The cottage was perfected located to all the nearby areas we wanted to visit. It was beautiful and quiet and our own lovely piece of paradise. We loved the convenience of having a full kitchen to make meals/snacks for the kids. Only thing missing that would complete it would be a measuring cup for the kitchen.

The owner is wonderful

Left on Jul 08, 2010 for a stay in June 2010

I got in touch with the owner by way of emails. She is kind enough to help me. But the property manager is not good. We had some problems and called her but always the answering machine. We ran short of towels, and couldn't get enough hot water. The maneger came here one day before the departure. But the owner called us and she is quite gentle. In short, we had some problems but it was OK.
